Dave Orr is considered the greatest nineteenth century slugger of all. His career was cut short when he suffered a stroke in 1890 at the age of 31.
Outfielder Warren Cromartie was drafted by the Twins in the third round of the January Secondary draft in 1972, but did not sign.
We would also like to wish a very happy anniversary to freealonzo's parents.
Twins Log 154 – White Sox and Twins
Finally, we've circled this week since the schedule came out over the winter. Six of the last nine games against the White Sox to determine who would be the AL Central Division champs. These two teams have been eying each other all year long and finally it's put up or shut up time with the winner off to the playoffs. There is nothing more thrilling that play-off like baseball in September.
Bailey Ober for the Twins and old friend Lance Lynn for the Whities.
First pitch at 6:40 but buckle in, these next games are going to be epic.

Gus Schmelz managed several teams in the late 19th century. He is one of the few who became a manager without having played professionally.
Bob Coleman managed in the minor leagues for thirty-five years. He had the most wins as a minor league manager when he retired, 2,496, a mark since passed by Stan Wasiak.
Former Knicks player Mel McGaha was the manager of the Kansas City Athletics from 1964-1965.
We'd also like to wish a happy birthday to Beau's daughter.
